- Ate it: Fell down, presumably while trying something challenging on a skateboard, roller skates, bicycle, surf board, or while body surfing. - Ate concrete: Subset of ate it: Fell off a bicycle, roller skates or skateboard, onto concrete. Typically results in road rash. - Wiped out: Synonym for ate it. - Got Maytagged: While surfing or body surfing, when the wave crashes on top of you and whirls you around vertically. - Faceplant: Ate it, landing on your face. - Roadrash: Removal of the first, and some of the second layers of skin after eating concrete. - Stoked: Happy, satisfied - Gnarly (antideluvian from 80's): Sort of like "awesome", but also meaning either difficult and probably dangerous, or doing something difficult, and probably dangerous. Partial sample paragraph: Deeeuuuuddd, shooting that gnarly part of Sepulveda Pass today on my longboard, I ate it big time, so now I have roadrash from my chest to my toes. At least I didn't do a faceplant like last week. To forget my troubles, I went body surfing at Venice, caught a gnarly eight footer, and got maytagged. Now I'm stoked. Hey deeeuuuuddd, doooooncha understand English, maaaaan? :-) SteveT Steve Litt Spring 2021 featured book: Troubleshooting Techniques of the Successful Technologist http://www.troubleshooters.com/techniques _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
